Old Malton, Malton, North Yorkshire, YO17

Detached Georgian farm house with garaging and generous mature grounds

Description

Howe Farm offers a rare opportunity to buy a handsome, detached family house dating from the late C18th, standing in a generous plot with gardens on three sides and two later wings, part incorporated and offering significant opportunities for further development. Beyond the gardens are far-reaching views across green pastures and rolling hills.

A much-loved family home for 50 years, this Grade II listed farmhouse retains many of its original architectural features, most notably the timber sash and bay windows and full-height open-string staircase with slender turned balusters and moulded handrail. The kitchen occupies one of the larger front reception rooms overlooking the garden, the back kitchen forming a larger utility/boot room accessed directly from the rear courtyard. The remaining reception room is a real highlight, perfectly proportioned, bathed in copious amounts of natural light and adorned with period features. The first and second floors include six bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite to the principal bedroom which has far reaching views across the front garden and neighbouring pasture.

The two wings provide utility space, an office or craft room and several useful store areas, as well as a garage. The gardens extend around three sides, predominantly lawned, bordered by a high hedge on the roadside and yew along the eastern boundary cut lower to enhance the views across the neighbouring parkland. On the southern side of the house is a charming walled garden providing a sheltered sanctuary, a gate opening to a small paddock dotted with fruit trees.

There is an additional block of land adjoining equating to around one acre available by separate negotiation.
